StableEnum or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Enums in Unity3d

It’s a well-known problem with serialization of enums in Unity3d:

1. Use enum as a serialized field in your MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject (or anything serializable).
2. Fine-tune everything and code your game further casually.
3. Add some new enumerators in the middle of your enum.
4. BAM!! You are screwed.

What happened? Nothing fancy: new enumerators of your enum just shifted down the old ones occupying their values, because Unity serializes enums as ints.
Solution is easy: serialize enums as strings. And StableEnum will help you with this.
